'That hurts' - Neuer says Germany 'owe' Low more after England defeat ends Euro 2020 swansong

The outgoing 61-year-old saw his tenure conclude with something of a frustrated whimper, with his captain adding that his manager deserved more

Manuel Neuer says that Germany 'owe' more to outgoing coach Joachim Low than their last-16 exit to England at Euro 2020, as the latter's decade-and-a-half reign came to a spluttering end at Wembley Stadium.

The World Cup-winning coach's lengthy tenure in charge of the national team concluded with something of a frustrated whimper as goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane ensured the hosts progressed to the quarter-finals in north west London.

It means there will be no final brush with triumph for Low, who has been at the helm since succeeding Jurgen Klinsmann in 2006, and speaking after the full-time whistle, his captain admitted that his legacy deserves more than what has been delivered this summer.
